we should one day watch this movie on the cytube
A Chinese propaganda film depicting the defeat of the US Army has become a box-office smash in the Communist country.
When the Chinese do it it's "propaganda" but the CIA approving movie scripts and "suggesting" changes, or the US Air Force turning "Captain Marvel" into a 2 hour recruiting drive is definitely NOT propaganda because reasons...
:citations-needed:
"Well technically American studios don't have to take military aid."
The :reddit-logo: thread I read on this was awful.
I have watched this movie and it is only medium level. China is much inferior to Hollywood in war movies.
Chinese audiences support this film only because they support PLA.
To be honest, I think this movie is not worthy of the glorious deeds of the PLA. Of course, it’s okay to watch it as a normal popcorn movie.
I really want to list some excellent Chinese war films, but these films do not have English subtitles.
Edit:Thanks for @Ectrayn now we have some good Chinese TV series with English subtitles

This is a very complicated issue. I can only say that every country has its weaknesses.

These are black and white movies, but they are too classic

It’s a very good TV series produced this year, but unfortunately there are no English subtitles...

TV series about the pioneers of CPC founding, a masterpiece

EPIC
You should never miss this ten-hour grand series, filming for several years and using tens of thousands of troops to produce at the national level.
I don’t know if there are any English subtitles...this is the TOP 1 of all my recommendations
In 1950s, the August First Film Studio was planning films about the three major campaigns: Liaoshen Campaign, Huaihai Campaign and Pingjin Campaign. But because of the limits of conditions, the project had been put on hold. In January 1986, the then General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Hu Yaobang ordered the relevant organizations to turn the three major campaigns into a feature. The Central Military Commission began to negotiate with the August First Film Studio to produce a film. In February 1986, Li Pingfen (李平分), Shi Chao (史超) and Wang Jun (王军) signed on to write the script for the film. They consulted a lot of data, including the memoirs of veterans, interviewed more than 300 campaign participants, and also surveyed the old battlefields. The then vice-chairman of Central Military Commission Yang Shangkun and the then director of the General Political Department Yang Baibing had repeatedly summoned the producers to discuss the film. At the end of 1987, the film finally finished writing. Li Jun (李俊) was signed to direct the film and Yang Qingwei (杨庆卫) served as general producer. At the end of 1989, the directors visited Nie Rongzhen, a commander in the Pingjin Campaign. The title of the film was written by Jiang Zemin, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China. After seeing the film, Deng Xiaoping said, "The film is very good. I watch it every year."[4][5]
Filming took place in Heilongjiang, Zhejiang, Ningxia, Shandong. Nearly 800 of the 1000 workers in the August First Film Studio participated in the shooting. PLA soldiers from Shenyang Military Region, Beijing Military Region, Jinan Military Region, Nanjing Military Region and Lanzhou Military Region participated in the film.[6] The scenes of Mao Zedong labours up the hillside and the Yellow River of ice is thawing were filmed in north Shaanxi. The camera crew worked hard in the Yellow River for two years to get the scenes.[4][5]
You had me at 10 hour grand series.
Thanks for this recommendation. I'm going to attempt Part One tonight.

Combine the 3 in VLC for enlightenment.
holy fuck there's like 3 different names for each part of this 3 part series. makes acquisition awkward.
President XI, I regret to inform you that my support will be withdrawn if movie magic could be suppressed like this in your so-called utopia.
goddammit. I went to watch that movie last night. the subs I linked are from something else. They are titled correctly but are from another movie. Sabotage.
It's a pain. Opensubtitles has what looks like the correct subs for part 2 of the series, which is also on youtube.
maybe there's a version with subs on private tracker sites or something. extremely invested in this now lol. spent a long time reading about this trilogy.

This is the first episode of a series of documentaries
Full of cringe imagination of socialist North Korea, but that is still a good one
uncritical support for the DPRK in its heroic struggle to liberate occupied Korea from the genocidal American empire
I would watch this at a convenient predetermined time with my lovely Hexbears.
Eh, you can watch it if you want, but 100% chance it's overwrought and crappily done.
I was really looking forward to 800. I love the time and place, it was right up my alley. But guh, turned it off 90 minutes in. The actual historical event was already super interesting, why'd they have to make up a bunch of bullshit and overdramatize it?
